Dune Cotton Gauze Marina Dress
About Faherty’s dresses: Faherty's dress range runs from jersey T-shirt dresses to occasion slips, but the brand is best known for its organic cotton gauze dresses — the line formerly sold as Dream Cotton Gauze, now labeled Dune Cotton Gauze. List prices across the dress catalog run about $98 to $398.
Is the price honest?
Our take
The Marina fronts Faherty's cotton gauze dress line, sold in earlier seasons under the Dream Cotton Gauze name and now labeled Dune Cotton Gauze. It is a tiered, button-front maxi in crinkled organic cotton double gauze with an elastic waist, self sash, and on-seam pockets. Owners like how soft and breathable the gauze feels and that it machine-washes easily. Caveats: the lightweight weave calls for a delicate cycle, colorways rotate out quickly, and frequent markdowns make the list price look inflated.

Write the first honest reviewThe details
- Material
- Crinkled organic cotton double gauze — Faherty specs it as "airy double gauze organic cotton," 100% organic cotton per the product page.
- Fit
- Faherty lists the Marina true to size at 55 inches long, with an elastic waist and self sash giving the tiered skirt shape. Owners of the gauze line describe the cut as roomy rather than fitted, so sizing down is reasonable if you want less volume.
- Quality
- The gauze fabric draws consistent praise — an editorial review of the line called it high-quality and easy to maintain, and buyer comments echo the softness. It is still a lightweight open weave, so treat it gently rather than expecting workwear durability.
- Best for
- Warm-weather everyday wear and travel — someone who wants a soft, low-effort dress that looks finished without pressing or tailoring.
- Care
- Close fastenings, turn it inside out, machine wash cold on a delicate cycle, and hang or lay flat to dry — the crinkle texture means no ironing.
How Faherty dresses hold up overall
Faherty's cotton-gauze and linen dresses draw strong comfort reviews — testers describe soft, breezy fabric and roomy-but-not-shapeless cuts, and one reviewer called the brand's linen midi shirt dress among the best-fitting she had tried. The recurring theme is generous sizing: multiple styles are reported to run large or boxy, with owners sizing down or having pieces tailored, though at least one style is noted to run slim in the chest instead.
- Strengths
- Soft, breezy natural-fiber fabrics with relaxed cuts that reviewers find genuinely comfortable and easy to care for.
- Watch out for
- Fit skews loose and varies by style — most dresses run large or boxy enough that owners size down or tailor, while a few cut slim in the chest.
- Sizing
- Expect roomy cuts and size down on most styles if between sizes, but check per-style guidance since some run slim in the chest.
